Your first step is to get in touch with us – the experts
The moment your organization is hit by an incident, you need the ability to take key decisions quickly and get the situation under control.
Common mistakes organizations make:
- Taking the entire network offline.
- Formatting computers that are visibly affected
- Communicating first impressions internally and externally
- Trusting already-deployed security products for data about the breach
- Failing to investigate an incident
Taking the right decisions will pave the way toward rapid and robust recovery.
Taking the wrong decisions will invariably lead to more work, more costs and, likely, a failed clean-up job.

The answer to this is not necessarily obvious and when identified incorrectly, repeat breaches tend to happen.
This is crucial to establish to ensure you manage your risk exposure and engage with the appropriate stakeholders.
There can be important lessons and insights regarding your risk exposure based on understanding the nature of the attacker.
